["Jay Keller" <jlkeller999@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow Birders,
After voting this morning, I headed over to Lake Fairfax Park to see what was 
about.  This place has been interesting in the past few months.  It looks like 
it may harbor some nice ducks this year, which is convenient for me since it is 
essentially on the way to my office.  I was only there for about 20 minutes but 
I was able to see several good birds, including two PIED-BILLED GREBES swimming 
among the higher grasses along the lakeshore, a late OSPREY assaulting a GB 
HERON (minding its own business), and a group of 16 RING-NECKED DUCKS that 
later whistled in, circling the lake several times before finally landing among 
the 176 CANADA GEESE.  A complete list follows.

Good Birding!

Jay Keller
